Actually, I asked TWO Presidents that question. I got pretty much the same answer.
The former President Bush also gave me a similar answer. He said something about “You know I was once the Director of the CIA, right? Well, there’s a lot of things that I can’t talk about.”
That was a tacit denial that anything was ever going to be known, to me. I suppose in a way I can understand the need to keep things “secret”.
After all, if you reveal how you got some intelligence, then you give away a lot more than the fact you KNOW the information. You give away who gave it to you, why they helped you, and put them in danger.
IF I apply this logic to this “UFO conspiracy theory” (that is, that the government has been in contact, and still are with extraterrestrial intelligences) then it gives away to others around the planet that, for instance (assuming it is true) the “intelligences” from outside, took OUR side of the story.
IF that were true (which I’m not saying it IS) then outside intelligences are fighting for perhaps the same things we are, freedoms of all people.
PERHAPS in a round about fashion, this is why we’re seeing things like “globalism”.
When we ALL come to some consensus that a “one world government” is sufficient, we’re all of the same blood and DNA and we’re traveling in space, PERHAPS those “intelligences” will share much more knowledge with us and this planet than we can even imagine.
Now, don’t get me wrong... I don’t KNOW this is true, and I’m not sure I agree with the whole premise, but it’s certainly one logical way to look at it.
PERHAPS those “intelligences” will share much more knowledge
***And, more to the point, perhaps they will not. You’re using inductive reasoning here, what is the most likely to be the case. And it is far more likely that the UFOs flying around in the 1890’s at 100-140MPH were man-made rather than evidence of alien visitation. Or are you going to venture forth that 140MPH is de facto evidence of alien visitation?
Similarly, knowing that the Nazis had achieved Mach 3.5 with their V2 weapon, it is far more likely that some fast aircraft in the late 1940’s were man-made rather than alien.
